TMAX 3200 - expired in 2015- how bad?

[GarageBoy]

So I'm acquiring a decent amount of tmz from the last batch. How bad will the food be at this point and how do I keep it in check?

Not as bad as it is from the special
characteristic with E.I. 3200.
Don't be afraid of expired dates of 2 years in the past in bw.

Perhaps you ask again in 6-8 years from
now.
The more relevant fact is storage ( even with bw.)

Does your film have had a good storage
1) at your store from where you got it.
2) how long was the film in storage of
your local dealer ?
3) what is at yours - at home ?

Notice : Dont't store films in cars - in front of windows because the temperatures could damage the emulsion within 3-5 hours.

So you should have no problems at all
- even in 2019 with your film.
Better shoot this emulsion this year or in the next year - just to be on the :
VERY SAFE SIDE .

I can see no problem at all.

The next question should be the E.I.
in general with TMZ.

I would recomand only E.I. max. to 1600/33Din.

Some expertes see it different.
A question to 25 counterattacks..

Good luck with you "brand new film"

with regards

Not bad.

To be safe I'd add one stop more exposure than otherwise indicated to start. Other than that no change.

Look at the results and see from there.

I'd also try and shoot it up in the near future, not because it will stop working, just that you will need to add more and more exposure and work harder to print it as it ages farther.

Thanks- I'll start with the Kodak times for 1600 and shoot at 1600
Developing longer wont help with the base fog, correct?

 

[markbarendt]

Correct.
